I routinely scan, assess, and remove connections which I believe do not benefit my professional interest or the interest of my connections I would like to keep. Have I sent invitations to those who I have only met in LinkedIn?... sure..., building new connections is a good thing. But only if I can justify that the connection is mutually beneficial.
